Just look away at something on a wall, think about what it would be like to be in that picture, painting, or poster. Concentrate on slowing your breathing rate down & relax. Just think about slowing the heart down, control your body, let it relax, be comfortable, nothing can hurt you, you're so relaxed that your body is Jello. Concentrate on your universe, there's nothing else but you & just relax. By that time you're done & it's time to go. If that doesn't work, well scream & cry, or just bite the bullet

Inhale when the needle goes in and don't look at it. Exhale when it gets pulled out.

this works everytime, and you'll never feel it. ask the person giving you the shot to blow on it the exact same time they inject. you'll be amazed

My sister is 58 years old and is still terrified of injections. It's just one of those things. Don't look at the needle at all and look away when they stick you with it. Ask if the nurse could use a smaller gauge needle they hurt less.

Close your eyes, squeeze something really tight, deep breaths, sing the abcs, or think of something fun
